to remove characters that would mess up the filename, such as
unprintable characters, space and /.
- taskname—Identification of the application configuration that was
operating when the TS data were collected. In the case of IRIS, it is
the IRIS TASK name. In the case of the ascope utility, it is set to
"ascope_<filename>" where filename is the name of the saved ascope
configuration that was used to collect the data (in the example,
Ascope_DEFAULT). In the case of a custom user application, the user
can specify an appropriate ID for the configuration so that it is
archived appropriately.
- sweep—A full 360 degree (or partial sector in sector mode) of data,
typically collected at a fixed elevation angle. Most data acquisition
software packages, such as IRIS, collect volume scan data this way.
The sweeps are indexed 1, 2, 3, ... In the case where ascope is used for
RVP900 operation, there is no concept of a sweep and the sweep
number is set to 0. For RHI scanning, the concept of a sweep is the
same, except that it is an elevation sweep rather than azimuth sweep.
- polarization—This refers to the transmit polarization. There are
four choices: H, V, H+V (simultaneous H and V transmit) and ALT
(alternating H and V transmit).
E.9.3.3 -count:N
Each file consists of the IQ data for all range bins for each pulse in the
sweep. -count:N is how many pulses to display. See the example in
Section E.9.3.4 -data. The count is set to 1, that is, only the information for
one pulse is displayed.
E.9.3.4 -data
Use the –data option to see the actual IQ values for each range bin.
This example has the time series values for 400 bins for the 101st pulse:
